of gambling that ha aroused the public throughout .the
country to past and enforce law against the vice , of
ambling, but rather. the permission of .of connivance

and is -in its very natnre reprehensible, not, a tho.r:-,

the law to enforce it against them, showing, no favor.
' If the law could safely discriminate- without dangerously
